I've reviewed the community rules of PoliticalHumor and, unless suicide counts as violence because it is self-harm, no rule was broken. As it stands the multiple mentions of violence in the rules are ambiguous.
What? Of course it does. Overcoming a bodies' will to life is an inherently violent act. No amount of consent or dignity will change that. And the Scandinavian escape pods are hardly the norm. Both people I know ate pistols.
there are forms of suicide that just involve stopping the breathing process or the heart, of which neither is violent. Rules regarding violence should always be conservative in their application, aka if there is a non-violent interpretation why wouldn't that be the intent.
Recognizing that Nazis are people is necessary in order to understand how people become Nazis. Understanding how people become Nazis is necessary in order to fight Nazis.
I agree. Human rights and dignity are not negotiable. Not for mass murderers, rapists, Nazis, or Jeff Bezos. Not for anyone. Disagree, oppose, undermine, fight, but do not ever dehumanise.
Tbh I'm astounded that politics in the past managed to get that thought reflected in law and constitution. Not guilty until proven otherwise. In dubio pro reo!
Nowadays, I would not expect that much rationality from most people.
A few years ago I went for a walk and in front of me two left leaning people were talking to each other: "I'm looking forward to Saturday" the girl said to the guy. "There is a big Nazi demo in the next big city and I can't wait to punch an Nazi"...
So in what way are you better then the Nazi, I thought.
It always starts with dehumanizing the others... then you can do whatever you want to them, without thinking about the suffering you created
Mod muted for a month isn't for no reason. They likely have a zero tolerance policy about this and don't want to hear from you about it because they will not reconsider.
Internet forum user knowingly breaks rule. Gets banned. News at 11.

Normally if a post breaks a subs rule, they tell you and just remove the post. This was with no warning.
Yes, very sad.

Odd. Cause nazis are not people anyway. So that “rule” cannot apply.
No, even Nazis are people. They may be horrible people whose hateful ideology needs to be forcefully purged from society, but they are still people.
Do you know how otherwise same people turn out just as bad as Nazis? It starts by dehumanizing their opponents.
(That's not necessarily a statement in favor of the Reddit action, that was likely done by a bot anyway so no humans were involved.)

Nazis are people who should instead be flowers.

It was probably the KYS initials.
Just say the YS stands for "you suck" lol
I agree, RFK should stop telling people to kill themselves by ignoring modern medicine.
I got banned from there for cross posting.
For the best due to how awful most of their humor is
I'm not really sure that moderators moderating is particularly notable.
